Superman, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, and their colleagues have become household names with a fanbase spanning multiple generations. However, while the genre is called “superhero”, these are not the only costume clad characters from this genre that have become a phenomenon.

  • Lycra, Legs, and Legitimacy: Performances of Feminine Power in Twentieth Century American Popular Culture
    LYCRA, LEGS, AND LEGITIMACY: PERFORMANCES OF FEMININE POWER IN TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Quincy Thomas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas, Graduate Faculty Representative Bradford Clark Lesa Lockford © 2018 Quincy Thomas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor As a child, when I consumed fictional narratives that centered on strong female characters, all I noticed was the enviable power that they exhibited. From my point of view, every performance by a powerful character like Wonder Woman, Daisy Duke, or Princess Leia, served to highlight her drive, ability, and intellect in a wholly uncomplicated way. What I did not notice then was the often-problematic performances of female power that accompanied those narratives. As a performance studies and theatre scholar, with a decades’ old love of all things popular culture, I began to ponder the troubling question: Why are there so many popular narratives focused on female characters who are, on a surface level, portrayed as bastions of strength, that fall woefully short of being true representations of empowerment when subjected to close analysis? In an endeavor to answer this question, in this dissertation I examine what I contend are some of the paradoxical performances of female heroism, womanhood, and feminine aggression from the 1960s to the 1990s. To facilitate this investigation, I engage in close readings of several key aesthetic and cultural texts from these decades. While the Wonder Woman comic book universe serves as the centerpiece of this study, I also consider troublesome performances and representations of female power in the television shows Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the film Grease, the stage musical Les Misérables, and the video game Tomb Raider.

  • Justice League: Origins
    JUSTICE LEAGUE: ORIGINS Written by Chad Handley [email protected] EXT. PARK - DAY An idyllic American park from our Rockwellian past. A pick- up truck pulls up onto a nearby gravel lot. INT. PICK-UP TRUCK - DAY MARTHA KENT (30s) stalls the engine. Her young son, CLARK, (7) apprehensively peeks out at the park from just under the window. MARTHA KENT Go on, Clark. Scoot. CLARK Can’t I go with you? MARTHA KENT No, you may not. A woman is entitled to shop on her own once in a blue moon. And it’s high time you made friends your own age. Clark watches a group of bigger, rowdier boys play baseball on a diamond in the park. CLARK They won’t like me. MARTHA KENT How will you know unless you try? Go on. I’ll be back before you know it. EXT. PARK - BASEBALL DIAMOND - MOMENTS LATER Clark watches the other kids play from afar - too scared to approach. He is about to give up when a fly ball plops on the ground at his feet. He stares at it, unsure of what to do. BIG KID 1 (yelling) Yo, kid. Little help? Clark picks up the ball. Unsure he can throw the distance, he hesitates. Rolls the ball over instead. It stops halfway to Big Kid 1, who rolls his eyes, runs over and picks it up. 2. BIG KID 1 (CONT’D) Nice throw. The other kids laugh at him. Humiliated, Clark puts his hands in his pockets and walks away. Big Kid 2 advances on Big Kid 1; takes the ball away from him.

  • Transcript of Being Batman
    1 You’re listening to Imaginary Worlds, a show about science fiction and other fantasy genres. I’m Eric Molinsky. They say you should never meet your heroes because you might be disappointed. But what happens when you’re that told from now on, you need to become your childhood hero -- just don’t disappoint everyone else? I know for a lot of people, that sounds like a metaphor. But that really happened to Scott Snyder. SCOTT: Right now this city, ruined and beautiful it’s ours and ours alone, its fears, super storms, madmen with private ideology come at us with weapons of every magnetite out of nowhere, these are fears haunt our city but we will face them together. Because right now, this is our Gotham, not our fathers or sons, ours, our fears are great but so are our hopes, our ambitions, our resilience, because we’re fighters. Scott Snyder writes Batman. There are lots of DC Comics that feature Batman, but he writes the one with Batman in the title. It’s consistently the best selling title for DC -- and all of comics. To say I’m a Batman fan is an understatement. But I could really never explain why I feel such a connection with Bruce Wayne, or why my obsession started at the end of high school, not when I was a kid. I’ve devoured every version of this character from Frank Miller to Tim Burton to the animated series to Christopher Nolan to the Arkham video games. What’s different about Scott Snyder’s Batman is that he isn’t dark, edgy and tormented.

  • A Case Study of Kung Fu Panda
    Journal of Content, Community & Communication Amity School of Communication Vol. 6 Year 3, June - 2017 [ISSN: 2395-7514 (Print)] Amity University, Madhya Pradesh [ISSN: 2456-9011 (Online)] The Western Gaze in Animation: A Case Study of Kung Fu Panda Chenjun Wang* ABSTRACT Orientalists think western popular media extends cultural imperialism in the American Century. The increasing interest on producing diverse cultural perspectives in Hollywood raises the question of whether there is an “othering” process in its media representation, subordinating or distorting the image of non- Westerners. Consequently and consequentially, the naturalised ‘reality’ of Orientals and the Orient would be further reinforced to the global audience. Kung Fu Panda series (2008, 2011 and 2016) is one of the most popular Hollywood animations in recent years. In order to find out whether the animation is yet another Orientalism project based on occidentalist knowledge, this article will examine the Hollywood representation of characters, voice and miseen scène in Kung Fu Panda. Employing a combination of framing analysis and discourse analysis, this essay will examine visual images (the appearance and posture of main characters, landmarks, architectural features), depictions (the narratives of the stories), metaphors (cast members’ voices, words and deeds of characters), as well as cast members, movie posters, producers. The essay concludes that although Kung Fu Panda has remained within a traditional orientalist framework, it seems to have integrated different metaphors - depending on production settings and audiences. Keywords:Orientalism; Media representation; Othering; Hollywood animation; Cultural imperialism; Kung Fu Panda. INTRODUCTION (Said, 1978). Hollywood representation of “the otherness” has framed a certain environment of The movie Kung Fu Panda is a story about a images and narratives to shape a postcolonial clumsy cuddly panda that was unable to achieve hegemonic flow of knowledge from the West to his kung fu dream until he was recognised as the the East (Said, 1994).

  • Wonder Woman Unbound
    COMICS/LITERARY CRITICISM/POPULAR CULTURE WONDER WOMAN UNBOUND “I’ve never seen more information about Wonder Woman than in Wonder Woman Unbound. Tim Hanley tells us everything we’ve never asked about Wonder Woman because it simply never occurred to us: from her mythic Golden Age origins through her dismal Silver Age years as a lovesick romance comic character, and worse yet, when she lost her costume and powers in the late 1960s. Our favorite Amazon’s saga be- comes upbeat again with the 1970s advent of Gloria Steinem and Ms. magazine, and Lynda Carter’s unforgettable portrayal of her on television. And it’s all told with a dollop of humor!” —Trina Robbins, author of Pretty in Ink: North American Women Cartoonists, 1896–2013 ith her golden lasso and her bullet-deflecting bracelets, WWonder Woman is a beloved icon of female strength in a world of male superheroes. But this close look at her history por- trays a complicated heroine who is more than just a female Super- man. When they debuted in the 1940s, Wonder Woman comics advocated female superiority and the benefits of matriarchy; her adventures were also colored by bondage imagery and hidden les- bian leanings. In the decades that followed, Wonder Woman fell backward as American women began to step forward. Ultimate- ly, Wonder Woman became a feminist symbol in the 1970s, and the curious details of her past were quickly forgotten. Exploring this lost history adds new dimensions to the world’s most beloved female character, and Wonder Woman Unbound delves into her comic book and its spin-offs as well as the motivations of her cre- ators to showcase the peculiar journey of a twentieth-century icon.
